I've failed to get the AmigaTCP (KA9Q) software working on my Amiga 1000
and would like to ask for help.

On the Amiga side I startup this net-sequence:
	attach asy 0 0 slip sl0 1024 1024 9600
	ip address [128.117.16.7]
	hostname sitongia
	smtp gateway [128.117.16.4]
	route add [128.117.16.4] sl0
	start telnet
	start ftp
	start smtp
	start echo
	start discard
I've given my amiga the Internet address of [128.117.16.7].

On the host side, a Sun-4/280 running SunOS 4.0.1+ uses the STREAMS-based
SLIP implementation from R. Zachariassen, which is a beta release.  There,
I remove the getty from the target serial port (which is on an ALM-II), and
run sliplogin:
	sliplogin 128.117.16.4 128.117.16.7 < /dev/ttyj3 &
The first Internet address is that of the host.

Operationally, the symptoms are that I run telnet from net on the Amiga, it
says that it has done the open and sent a SYN, then nothing happens.  On
the host side, netstat indicates that one or a few packets have been
received from the amiga, but nothing is ever sent to the amiga.  

The routing table looks ok on the host, but I've also tried swapping the
Internet addresses on the sliplogin command, just in case.  The routing
table on the Amiga has several entries that are all 0.0.0.0 and a last
entry of 0.117.16.4, like it has truncated the first part of the address to
seven bits.

What am I doing wrong?  Is anyone using a similar configuration, namely
using the STREAMS-based SLIP driver on a Sun-4?

Thanks,

Leonard
